Sit still, dammit!
Today is several student's final day, so we are all off to a traditional restaurant later this evening. I presume it'll be the same place as last year, which means two hours sitting in seiza (正座) position. Ouch...
Not too much to report. Today was techno music day for the school children. The weather isn't particularly sunny, but still quite warm. However, I stand out as being the only guy wearing shorts and t-shirt. Most Japanese men are wearing full business suits -- I don't know how they do it.
Maybe, just maybe, if enough people are interested, a group of us from the school will be visiting some island in the Fukuoka bay area. It's twenty minutes by boat and apparently quite picturesque. I'll be sure to take my camera, so if this outing is a go, expect photos on Monday.
Oh, and I went to some monstrous book store on Wednesday. Several stories in height, with each floor easily being the same size as larger bookstores in Edmonton. They sure do like their books here in Japan.
